Abstract

The aldol reaction is a cornerstone of modern synthetic organic chemistry in which the β-hydroxyketone was formed by the reaction of an enol or an enolate and a carbonyl compound. Benzalacetone is one of the fundamental building blocks of benzalacetone synthase structure that play an important role for construction of a variety of medicinally crucial phenylbutanoids, such as anti-inflammatory glucoside lindleyin in rhubarb and gingerol. The non-transition metal material attracted much attention from research groups on the world, such a potential catalyst as BiOCl for organic reaction due to its remarkably chemical and physical properties as relative stability, resistance of air and moisture, low toxicity. The BiOCl material was synthesized by the solvothermal method. The structure features of material were defined by modern analytic methods such as X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier Transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), Scaning Electron Microscope (SEM), and Nitrogen Adsorption-Desorption Isotherms. The BiOCl material was successfully utilized as a catalyst for the aldol condensation reaction of benzaldehyde and acetone. The reaction was performed in the mild condition with the presence of 10 mol% catalyst and 2 equivalent of Cs2CO3 as base without by-product in very short reaction times and good yields. The benzalacetone product obtained around 85% yield at 120 °C for 24 h. The BiOCl material after reaction was recovered and reused many times without significant reducing of catalytic activity.

Abstract

In this study, we compared the effect of the commercial NiO, synthesis NiAl-HT and NiO-HT drived from hydrotalcite in Knoevenagel condensation reaction. The NiAl-HT sample was synthesized by the coprecipitation method with a molar ratio M2+/M3+ = 2 at constant basic pH. X-ray Diffraction (XRD) and Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) were utilized to identify crystalline phases present in NiAl-HT, NiO-HT and commercial NiO. The chemical composition of the obtained solids was determined by Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy (AAS). Other techniques, such as Thermogravimetric Thermal Analyzer (TGA), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and Brunauere Emmette Teller Method (BET) were also used. As well as the BET showed the increase of the specific surface for the solid NiO-HT. The performance of the catalysts were studied in Knoevenagel condensation of benzaldehyde with ethyl acetoacetate without solvent to synthesis of organic compounds such as intermediates of dihydropyridines derivatives. The influence of different parameters, such as catalyst amount, reaction temperature and reaction time were optimized for studied the activity, the selectivity and the stability of the solids. Catalytic activity was in its lowest in the presence of NiAl-HT (26% of benzaldehyde conversion) whereas the benzaldehyde conversion increased to 77% in case of NiO-HT which can be explained by the presence of the basic sites of the NiO-HT oxides, a high surface area and a small crystallite size. Therefore, the lower increase in benzaldehyde conversion was noticed using commercial NiO (84%), perhaps owing to its high purity. A reaction mechanism is proposed by using density functional method (DFT). Copyright © 2023 by Authors, Published by BCREC Group.

Abstract

The synthesis and characterization of M2+/Al (M2+=Ni, Mg) layered double hydroxide (LDH) and intercalated polyoxometalate is presented. We have reported the growth of polyoxometalate on Ni/Mg layered double hydroxide for degradation methylene blue (MB). By considering variables such as pH of dye solution, dye concentration, and time as degradation variables, the efficiency of organic dye degradation and degradation parameters of M2+/Al (M2+ = Ni, Mg) LDH and both composite LDH-polyoxometalate has been identified. X-Ray Diffraction (XRD), Fourier Transform Infra Red (FTIR), Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM), and Ultra Violet Diffuse Reflectance Spectroscopy (UV-DRS) spectroscopy confirmed the layered double hydroxide structure. XRD and FTIR analysis confirmed the single-phase of the as-made and polyoxometalate intercalated LDH. SEM images show the formation of aggregates of small various sizes. The material’s photodegradation was assessed through methylene blue (MB) degradation process. The result showed that NiAl-Si has a good degradation capacity for MB as compared to NiAl-Pw, MgAl-Si, and MgAl-PW. The result shows that LDH composite presents stability and has good photocatalytic activities toward the reduction of methylene blue. The FTIR measurement confirming the LDH composite structure reveals the materials used in the fifth regeneration. The activity of MB photodegradation pristine were NiAl (45%), MgAl (43%), NiAl-Pw (78%), NiAl-Si (85%), MgAl-Pw (58%), and MgAl-Si (75%), respectively. The LDH-polyoxometalate composite material’s capacity to successfully photodegrade, as measured by the percentage of degradation, revealed an increase in photodegradation catalysis and the ability of the LDH to regenerate.

Abstract

This study investigates the effect of chemically doped Co and Ni metals on ZSM-5 catalyst with respect to the catalysts’ characteristics and performance for palm oil cracking. Some characterization methods have been conducted to identify the physicochemical properties of the synthesized catalysts, including X-ray diffraction (XRD), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), N2-physisorption, NH3- and CO2-probed Temperature Programmed Desorption (NH3-TPD and CO2-TPD) methods. The deposited carbon-coke on the spent catalysts is analysed using simultaneous thermal gravimetric – differential scanning calorimetry (TG-DTG-DSC) analysis. The performance of catalysts was evaluated on palm oil cracking process in a continuous fixed-bed catalytic reactor at 450 °C. To determine the liquid product composition functional group and components, we used Attenuated Total Reflectance Fourier-transform Infrared Spectroscopy (ATR-FTIR) and batch distillation methods, respectively. We found that the Co metal chemically-doped on Ni/SM-5 catalyst, resulting the increase in the catalysts acidity and the decrease in catalysts basicity. The conversion of palm oil increases as the increase of the ratio of catalysts’ acidity to basicity. The highest triglyceride conversion (76.5%) was obtained on the 3Co-Ni/ZSM-5 with the yield of gasoline, kerosene, and diesel of 2.61%, 4.38%, and 61.75%, respectively. It was also found that the chemically doping Co metal on Ni/ZSM-5 catalyst decreased carbon-coke formation due to the low catalysts’ basicity. Overall, it is proven that the combination of Co and Ni, which chemically doped, on ZSM-5 catalyst has a good activity in palm oil conversion with low carbon-coke formation affinity and high acidity of catalyst.

Abstract

This study addresses yellowing discoloration in LEDs caused by TiO2 particle degradation in encapsulants. The commonly added TiO2 particles will enhance light reflectance, and accelerate photodegradation but will decrease LED lifespan by lowering lumen quality and causing chromaticity change. To mitigate these effects, Mn particles were coupled with TiO2 particles using photo-reduction. This research examined three parameters Mn2+ ions concentration, UV irradiation duration, and annealing temperature, and the successful Mn-TiO2 coupling achieved. The resulting Mn-TiO2 particles, synthesized at 20 ppm Mn2+ ions and 200 °C annealing temperature, exhibited superior dispersibility and minimal agglomeration compared to TiO2 particles. Next, the photocatalytic performance of Mn-TiO2 particles was optimized using Response Surface Methodology (RSM). These particles exhibited the lowest photodegradation with a rate constant of 0.03092 min−1 and achieved a photodegradation efficiency of 79.92% at 60 min, amongst the others. Photodegradation of methylene blue followed a 1st-order kinetic model. Despite a slightly higher refractive index (RI), epoxy thin films with Mn-TiO2 particles displayed higher transmittance. Mn-TiO2 particles can thus serve as fillers in LED encapsulants to increase RI, reduce photodegradation, and enhance TiO2 particle dispersion. Copyright © 2023 by Authors, Published by BCREC Group.

Abstract

A new Zn(II) complex of 4-acetylbenzoic acid, namely  [ZnL2(H2O)2] (1) (HL = 4-acetylbenzoic acid) has been synthesized in water-ethanol (v:v = 1:2) solution using zinc acetate dihydrate, 4-acetylbenzoic acid, and NaOH as reactants. The structure of complex (1) has been characterized by IR and X-ray single-crystal diffraction. X-ray diffraction analysis of complex (1) reveals that the Zn(II) ion is six-coordinated in a distorted octahedral coordination geometry with four carboxylic O atoms from two different bidentate 4-acetylbenzoic acid ligands (O1, O2, O1a, O2a) and two O atoms from two coordinated water molecules (O4 and O4a). Complex (1) forms 1D chained structure by the intermolecular and intramolecular O-H···O hydrogen bonds, and further forms a three-dimensional network structure by the π-π interaction of benzene rings and intermolecular O-H···O hydrogen bonds. The singlet ground-state geometry of the complex (1) were optimized using the PBE0 functional. The intermolecular interactions of complex (1) were quantitatively analysed by 3D Hirschfeld surface analysis and associated 2D fingerprint plots. The catalytic activity of complex (1) has been tested for the oxidation of benzyl alcohol under O2 atmosphere. Copyright © 2023 by Authors, Published by BCREC Group.

Abstract

5-Hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) is a key platform compound that can be produced by the dehydration of typical carbohydrates like glucose and fructose. Among the derivatives of HMF, 5-ethoxymethylfurfural (EMF) is the etherification product of HMF with ethanol. Owing to some advantages (i.e., high energy density), EMF has been regarded as a potential liquid fuel. Therefore, catalytic conversion of   HMF and fructose to EMF is of significance, especially using heterogeneous catalysts. In this paper, we demonstrated the preparation of biomass-based catalysts for the synthesis of EMF from HMF and fructose. Some sulfonated biochar catalysts were prepared by the carbonization of biomass-based precursors at high temperature in N2, followed by the subsequent sulfonation process employing concentered H2SO4 as sulfonation reagent. The obtained catalysts were characterized by scanning electron microscope (SEM), Fourier transform infrared spectrometer (FT-IR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and element analysis. The catalytic conversion of HMF to EMF was carried out in ethanol, providing a 78% yield with complete conversion at 120 °C. The catalytic activity of the used catalyst showed slight decrease for the etherification of HMF. Moreover, the catalysts were effective for the direct conversion of fructose towards EMF in 64.9% yield. Copyright © 2023 by Authors, Published by BCREC Group.

Abstract

Medan orange peel (Mopl), which has been modified using cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB), has the potential to adsorb methyl orange (MO), and thus it can be used as a supporting material for ZnO. The ZnO is a photocatalytic material that is environmentally friendly, inexpensive, non-toxic, and has a wide band gap value. This study aims to determine the effect of calcination temperature on ZnO and ZnO characteristics due to modification using Mopl-CTAB and its effect on the degradation of MO. This research was carried out by synthesizing ZnO and ZnO/Mopl-CTAB materials using impregnation method and varying the calcination temperatures at 150, 250, 350, and 450 °C. The solid material powder obtained was characterized by using Scanning Electron Microscope-Energy Dispersive X-ray (SEM-EDX), Brunauer–Emmett–Teller (BET), Fourier Transform Infra Red (FTIR), X-ray Diffraction (XRD), and Diffuse Reflectance Spectroscopy (DRS). Based on the results of the characterization, greater calcination temperature can affect the characteristics of the photocatalyst, including its morphology, functional groups, crystal structure, crystal lattice, crystallinity, surface area, pore size, pore volume, and energy band gap. The MO photodegradation activity test using the synthesized material was conducted under dark and light conditions. The results of the test revealed that the best or optimum material to be used in degrading MO is a calcined material at 450 °C under light conditions. ZnO material using Mopl-CTAB is better in degrading ZnO/Mopl-CTAB 450 °C than ZnO 450 °C. This study found that ZnO material using Mopl-CTAB  had a percent removal of 78% in 50 min, while ZnO 450 °C only had a percent removal of 53% in 40 min. The reaction kinetics in dark and light conditions follow the pseudo-second-order kinetic model. Copyright © 2023 by Authors, Published by BCREC Group.
